About the adventure
Thirteen years ago, a group of occult investigators led by your friend and mentor battled against the summoning of an ancient and monstrous god. They failed. It is up to you to piece together what went wrong and travel across four continents in this world-spanning campaign, trying to foil the schemes of this shadowy presence and its followers. In pursuit of clues, you will visit scorching-hot deserts, packed urban jungles elegant estates and ancient ruins. But beware: danger lurks everywhere, and now that your enemies can taste victory at the tip of their tongue, they will try to devour anyone who dares to oppose them. GM Timezone: CET/UTC+1 Expected Pace: 1 post/day, adjustment possible Medium: Discord, Asynchronous Play-by-Post with a voice Session 0 Theme and Mood: Heroes in a Maw of Darkness This story is a mix between the 'Purist' and 'Pulp' approaches to Lovecraftian horror. Expect to face the mind-shattering horror of unholy Mythos magic and creatures (as well as the horror created entirely by human vices), interspersed with perilous expeditions and explosive action. Sometimes the best way to deal with a monster IS to blow it up.

About me
Hi there, you can call me Woland. I've been playing tabletop RPGs for almost two decades now, and for a large chunk of that time I have also enjoyed Play-by-Post, asynchronous campaigns. I will be offering those here on SPG. From World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness to classic D&D and beyond, I have ran (or helped to run) such games for groups of varying sizes: from small intimate experiences of just 2 or 3 people to communities numbering in the dozens. I love the thoughtful, cerebral side of text gaming that frees us from the constrains of schedule and allows us to develop great writing skills and weave fantastic, shared narratives. At the same time, I work to make the experience as dynamic as possible, without sacrificing availability. I would love to pull you along on this journey, whether you are a veteran or just someone who is curious to try a new style of gaming!

Creating your character
The broad strokes of character creation will be one of the topics covered in session 0, with details decided individually before play starts. Alternately, players can choose one of the pre-generated characters I provide.
This is a play-by-post game. It is played asynchronously (throughout the week) - this means the stated session time indicates when players are charged. You can post at any time of day that is most convenient for you!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
In order to play you will need accounts for Discord and the Forge hosting service - both are free and easy to set up. I will provide the game materials on the Discord server, including a Quickstart for easy reference. Any beginners in the group can expect a brief summary of how the game plays during session 0.
What Woland brings to the table
The main rulebook and other relevant game materials. Vibrant style of text roleplay, supplemented by soundtrack and visual aids. An option to store your character information on Foundry VTT for easier reference. Ten pre-generated characters you can use right off the bat or if your own Investigator meets a premature end!

How Woland creates a safe table
Session 0 will go over the themes and content warnings of the campaign once more, in addition to voicing above-table, out-of-character expectations (no harassment or similar behaviours, no bigotry, etc.). A short survey detailing Lines and Veils (among other things) will be provided for the players to fill out - if they choose these can then be published in an anonymized form so everyone knows the boundaries. A policy of 'no child harm or sexual violence, in or out of game' will be stated.
